Authorizing access to entitlement profile

By default, permission to view the entitlement profile is given to Active Roles Admin, the administrative account or group specified during Active Roles installation. Other users or groups can also be permitted to view the entitlement profile. A dedicated Access Template is provided for this purpose so that you can allow the use of the Entitlement Profile command by designated users or user groups.

To permit particular users or groups to view the entitlement profile of the users held in a certain container, such as an Organizational Unit or a Managed Unit, apply the Access Template as follows.

To authorize access to the entitlement profile

  1. In the Active Roles Console, right-click the container and click Delegate Control to display the Active Roles Security window.

  2. In the Active Roles Security window, click Add to start the Delegation of Control Wizard.

  3. In the wizard, click Next.

  4. On the Users or Groups page, click Add, and then select the desired users or groups.

  5. Click Next.

  6. On the Access Templates page, expand the Active Directory > Advanced folder, and then select the check box next to Users - View Entitlement Profile (Extended Right).

  7. Click Next and follow the instructions in the wizard, accepting the default settings.

After you complete these steps, the users and groups you selected in Step 4 are authorized to view the entitlement profile of the users held in the container you selected in Step 1, as well as in any sub-container of that container.

Recycle Bin

Active Roles builds on Active Directory Recycle Bin, a feature of Active Directory Domain Services introduced in Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2, to facilitate the restoration of deleted objects. When Recycle Bin is enabled, Active Roles makes it easy to undo accidental deletions, reducing the time, costs, and user impact associated with the recovery of deleted objects in Active Directory.

The use of Active Roles in conjunction with Active Directory Recycle Bin helps minimize directory service downtime caused by accidental deletions of directory data. Recycle Bin provides the ability to restore deleted objects without using backups or restarting domain controllers and a user interface featured by Active Roles expedites locating and recovering deleted objects from Recycle Bin. Flexible and powerful mechanisms provided by Active Roles for administrative tasks delegation, enforcement of policy rules and approvals, and change tracking ensure tight control of the recovery processes.

To undo deletions, Active Roles relies on the ability of Active Directory Recycle Bin to preserve all attributes, including the link-valued attributes, of the deleted objects. This makes it possible to restore deleted objects to the same state they were in immediately before deletion. For example, restored user accounts regain all group memberships that they had at the time of deletion.

Active Roles can be used to restore deleted objects in any managed domain that has Active Directory Recycle Bin enabled. This requires the forest functional level of Windows Server 2012, so all the forest domain controllers must be running Windows Server 2012. In a forest that meets these requirements, an administrator can enable Recycle Bin by using the Active Directory module for Windows PowerShell in Windows Server 2012. For more information about Active Directory Recycle Bin, see What’s New in AD DS: Active Directory Recycle Bin in the Microsoft Windows Server 2008 documentation.

Finding and listing deleted objects

Once Active Directory Recycle Bin is enabled in a managed domain, Active Roles provides access to the Deleted Objects container that holds the deleted objects from that domain. In the Active Roles Console tree, the container appears at the same level as the domain itself, under the Active Directory node. If multiple managed domains have Active Directory Recycle Bin enabled, then a separate container is displayed for each domain. To tell one container from another, the name of the container includes the domain name (for example, MyDomain.MyCompany.com - Deleted Objects).

Search pages in the Active Roles Console facilitate finding deleted objects, enabling the use of very specific queries based on any object properties. It is also possible to examine and search a list of deleted objects that were in a particular Organizational Unit or Managed Unit at the time of deletion.

Searching the Deleted Objects container

The Active Roles Console offers the Deleted Objects search category in the Find dialog, which is intended to perform a search in the Deleted Objects container of any managed domain where Active Directory Recycle Bin is enabled.

To search the Deleted Objects container

  1. In the Console tree, right-click the Active Directory and click Find.

  2. In the Find list, click Deleted Objects.

  3. Do any of the following:

    • In Name or Description, type the name or description, or part of the name or description, of the object to find.

      When searching by name, Active Roles uses ambiguous name resolution (ANR) to find objects with not only name but also some other properties matching the string you type in the Name box. The properties used for ANR include name, first name, last name, display name, and logon name.

    • Click the button next to the Deleted from box and select the object that was the parent of the deleted object you want to find.

      By using the Deleted from search option you can find child objects that were deleted from a particular container object.

    • Use the Advanced tab to build a query based on other properties of the deleted object to find. For instructions, see Steps for using advanced search options and Steps for building a custom search.

  4. Click Find Now to start the search.

When the search completes, the Find dialog displays a list of deleted objects that match the search criteria.

If you double-click an object in the list of search results, the property pages for that object are displayed. If you right-click an object, the shortcut menu displays all the actions you can perform on that object.
